Profile Upgrade for Pyxis Medstation - Columbia, MO 36C25525P0348
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Five Pyxis Medstations at the Columbia VA Medical Center require a software-based profiling upgrade to enable pharmacist-verified medication removal, aligning these units with other profiled machines under the sole-source BD Pyxis contract. The upgrade is performed on existing hardware and is intended to enhance medication safety by requiring a verified prescription order before dispensing.
Deliverables cover the profile upgrade for five Medstations (Product ID 135291-01), with hardware and software already under the current service contract. The government will provide on-site support, and upgrades can be completed remotely with no travel. Delivery is immediate upon award but no later than July 14, 2025, with a pre-delivery coordination meeting about 14 days before initial delivery. The government may adjust delivery dates and delay up to 90 days at no cost. Security background checks are not required, but VA HIPAA/privacy training must be completed for personnel with access to PII/PHI, and any produced data becomes government property. Key personnel include the Truman VA hospital Chief of Pharmacy, Associate Chief of Operations, and the Contracting Officer Representative.
Statement of Work (SOW) Profile upgrades for current Pyxis Medstations GENERAL INFORMATION 1.0 Scope of Work: The Contractor shall deliver all items listed in section 3.0 All items must meet all salient characteristics defined in section 3.0 2.0 Background: BD Pyxis is a sole source contract that was written VISN wide. Adding profiling ability to these five existing units would match the rest of the machines (from same original contract) that are already profiled.

Profiling a Pyxis machine enhances medication safety by not allowing removal of medication without having a prescription order verified by a pharmacist prior to removal for administration by a nurse or provider.
